10-Year Plan

A 10-Year Plan (also known as our Long Term Plan) sets out the Gore District Council’s strategic direction and work programme for 10 years ahead. It is the blueprint for our services, the projects we will undertake, how much things will cost and how they will be paid for.

Local authorities have to review their 10-Year-Plans every three years. Public input into the process is important to ensure we are meeting our community’s expectations and delivering the services and projects it wants.​
